Freight cost hides in the margin.
Nobody can say what shipping a unit really costs, or how it compares to budget.
Odigon for manufacturers
Ship at the lowest cost, on your trucks or a carrier's.
Lowest cost per shipment and a fleet that's compliant every day: rate every option before you ship, and keep drivers, tractors and trailers ready to dispatch.
- Fleet vs carrier on every load
- TL, LTL, parcel and intermodal
- Freight spend vs budget
- Driver and DOT compliance
What matters most to manufacturers
Lowest cost per shipment
Compare your fleet, contract carriers, spot, LTL, parcel and intermodal side by side, and apply the best option.
A fleet that's always ready
Dispatch is blocked when a CDL, medical card, inspection or driver's hours aren't in order.
The challenge
Freight is one of your biggest costs. It shouldn't be a mystery.
Shipments go the way they always have.
The same truck or carrier gets the load, even when another option is cheaper.
Fleet paperwork expires unnoticed.
A lapsed medical card or a missed DOT inspection is found at a roadside check.
What Odigon gives you
Lowest cost per shipment, and a compliant fleet
Tap a screen to see it full size.
Your fleet only when it's cheaper
The Route planner builds tours and consolidated trips for your trucks and bundles for carriers. With Lowest cost, a load goes on your truck only when that beats a carrier, so the plan never costs more than shipping each load on its own.
- Respects time windows, capacity, hazmat and hours of service
- Shows why a load was left out
- Nothing changes until you confirm the trip
Freight spend you can explain
The Executive dashboard shows freight spend year to date, cost per unit shipped, on-time delivery, carbon footprint and spend vs your monthly budget, by mode and by region.
- Budget vs actual by month
- Spend by mode and region
- Every chart has a table view
Drivers ready to dispatch
Track each driver's CDL, endorsements, medical card, annual MVR review and drug test. Odigon won't dispatch a driver whose CDL or medical card has expired, or who lacks the hours or the hazmat endorsement.
- Alerts before documents expire
- Hours of service clocks per driver
- Inactive drivers keep their history
Trucks maintained on schedule
Preventive maintenance by miles, days or both, plus the DOT annual inspection of every unit. Open a work order from any due line; the unit goes In shop and comes back Active when the work is done.
- Due soon and overdue at a glance
- Labor and parts cost per work order
- Odometer readings from ELD and telematics
A fuel surcharge everyone agrees on
Surcharge schedules follow the weekly EIA diesel price, per mile for truckload and as a percentage for LTL and parcel. The diesel history shows exactly which price was used.
- Refreshed automatically every Monday
- Manual prices are never overwritten
